Donald Trump is using his psychic powers once again.
The GOP presidential front-runner tweeted his prediction on Tuesday that Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will be the next Republican candidate to drop out of the race.
“Prediction: Rand Paul has been driven out of the race by my statements about him — he will announce soon. 1%!” the tweet reads.

“I will do a much better job for them,” Trump wrote.
I hope when Rand Paul gets out of the race—he is at 1%–his supporters come over to me. I will do a much better job for them.

Paul, however, defended his position in the presidential race on Monday, saying he expects to be in the running as long as or longer than Trump, who he called a “clown.” “By no means am I finished. I’m just getting started,” Paul said in an interview with CNN. In the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, Trump holds his lead as first choice for republican primary voters with 21%, while Paul sits in eighth place with 3%.
